Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 13: Riccione – Cento, 179.0k

[Tim Cahill]

Why is INEOS in front in the first group and Visma helping Lidl in the second group?

Safest place to be, could split again in the middle as it already has done, seen both Thomas and Pogacar pull through

 

[Peyroteo94]

Is Ganna trying to lose tomorrow's TT by working too much today?

 

[Netserk]

That was 20 minutes of action more than I expected today.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

All back together (except for Pozzovivo)

 

[Tim Cahill]

Second, more dangerous Benjamin Thomas style breakaway could go here with all the tired legs

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Bit stupid by Alpecin and Quickstep not to commit more, getting rid of Milan was served on a platter and they sit back while ineos and UAE have done the majority of work despite little to gain (in Ineos case basically nothing).

Best engines will save themselves for tomorrow.

Disgraceful collusion between the peloton to get rid of Pozzovivo, shades of Robert Millar's 1985 Vuelta scandal

One of the most blatant displays of ageism I've seen

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Visually this is a fine stage for students of horticulture - flat fields everywhere, could easily be taking soil samples. (Actually it's not that bad, at least the fields are mostly green and there are plenty of trees along the roads, and just now there was a river. I think bodies of water always jazz things up a bit.)

Pozzo still vivo

[Ilmaestro99]

Echelons, tractors everywhere... is this Flanders?

Nobody is throwing beer at the race leader so it's probably not flanders

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Just turned in, so there was little echelon action and now they are neutralising it for the next 20k or what?

They should be throwing goats at him.

Best example of ageism since stage 20 of the 2023 Giro. They wouldn't even let a fragile old Welshman man keep his pink jumper.

That's animal cruelty!

Also, kinda rude.

Have you ever heard of a guy named Luis Figo?

Goat milk, then.

Marcellusi and De Pooter do not agree.

Marcellusi and De Pooter do not agree.

Why is there only Pieter Serry chasing, though?

 

[RedheadDane]

Have you ever heard of a guy named Luis Figo?

No. (Well, I looked him up, assuming you're talking about the Portuguese football player)
Still doesn't change what I wrote.

Wasn't intended to make you change it. Just reminded me of this:

Luis Figo played for Barcelona before joining Real Madrid. It's safe to say these two clubs don't like each other. Back then, Barca even organised a free fan service, so people could get Figo removed from their shirts. In 2002 when the two teams played against each other, Figo decided "*** the hate" and take the corner kicks for Real. "Naturally" they threw all sorts of things at him, amongst them a pigs head. Very rude indeed.

Poggi survived

 

[JosefK]

Crash and split. .... No top GC guys caught out.

Mikkel Bjerg with a great ice hockey style move there
